Ok I keep reading about how the exhaust is an area for concern when wheeling. I'm looking to protect it and give me a bit of peace of mind as my JK will be stock for a while.

Can someone recommend a skid plate for the engine and trans that won't break the bank but will give me good protection.

 

I've ran the rock hard and the jcr. The rock hard came with a drop spacer to miss the exhaust. The jcr did not contact.

EVO Protek system. Covers oil pan, transmission and crossmember that includes exhaust crossover and loop. The crossmember skid not only provides the enhanced protection but improves the slide factor for when you get high centered. Something that is part of life in a JKU.
